WAGON-SEAT SPRING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters lPatent No. 510,024, dated December 5, 1893.

Application iiled March 9,1893. Serial No. 465,303. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JACOB ODEM INGLE, J r., a citizen ofA the United States, residing at Au-` burn, in the county of Ellis and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wagon-Seat Springs; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedA thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invention relates to elliptic seat springs arranged longitudinally on the front of the wagon-box, for the purpose of taking up the jar and jolt `of wagons in passing over rough places in the roads.

The special object of the invention is to reinforce these springs so that they, as well as the seat, shall always remain secure in position and not liable to displacement.

Figure l of the drawings is a bottom plan View Fig. 2 a longitudinal vertical section on the dotted line w of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 a verA tical section on the dotted line 'y y of Figi; Fig. 4 a detail perspective view of the spring brace.

In the drawings,A represents the seat which is arranged across the front of the Wagon box, B B the longitudinal elliptic springs which are made fast to and under the ends of the seat and supported on the pillow blocks C C.

1t will thus be seen that each spring is fastened on top to the seat and on the bottom to the bolster, the fastening .being midway of each piece. This construction makes undoubtedly the most comfortable wagon-seat which is now known to the public, but being subjected to much rough usage, the seat is often wrecked or made uncomfortable by lateral displacement ot' one or both springs. In order to overcome this difficulty, I have made the transverse brace-spring D which has the middle portion d dat to take a good bearing on the bottom of the seat, the downwardly and outwardly curved spring-arms d d' which go down or up with the springs and the rabbeted ends d2 d2 to bear against the inside of spring and block, the said ends being riveted or bolted to the bottom of the pillow blocks.

What I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

The brace D having the fiat middle portion d to give a broad bearing where it is fastened to the bottom ofv seat, the spring arms d d curved outwardly as shown,- and the rightangled ends d2 d2 to prevent the bolsters and springs from lateral displacement, substantially Vas shown and described.

In testimony whereof I afIiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
